Laboratory
Location: Rm 201 Dunn (see map page 5) Lab manuals can be purchased before class starting Friday Sept. 18th. Labs start Sept. 21th. You will be expected to attend on the day you have selected, usually in alternate weeks. The schedule is given in the lab manual. To find out whether you should attend week A or week B, consult your first CAPA assignment, which will indicate the date and time of your first lab. (See Section “CAPA Assignments” on p. 5 for details about assignments) You are expected to come to the laboratory prepared for that day's experiment. All labs have a CAPA pre-­‐lab assignment, which is due on your designated day 5 minutes before your session. Your first pre-­‐lab sheet for Lab X1 will be in the pigeon holes in the Dunn building (see map on page 5) on Wed. Sept. 16th. Subsequent pre-­‐labs sheets will be available at your lab session; uncollected sheets go to the pigeon holes. Laboratory policies and procedures are set out in the Introduction to the manual. If you lose your pre-­‐lab sheets You can e-­‐mail your pre-­‐lab sheets to yourself by logging into www.learning.physics.dal.ca and clicking on the corresponding link. Lab Rescheduling If you have to miss a lab session, for good reason, log onto www.learning.physics.dal.ca, select “Lab Rescheduling” and follow the instructions. Do this as far in advance as possible. Note that your pre-­‐lab assignment is still due on your regular lab day. DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY Physics and Atmospheric Science p.2/7 PHYC1300/1310/1320 Physics in and Around you Quizzes and Exams
You must write at least one quiz each term. There is one in-­‐class quiz and one evening quiz in both the Fall and Winter terms. Only non-­‐programmable calculators without graphing capabilities are permitted in the quizzes and exams. All other electronic devices—with or without wireless capabilities—are not permitted. This includes PDAs, cell phones, pagers or any other telecommunication device. Quiz 1 There is no make-­‐up quiz if you miss the in-­‐class quiz. If you miss the in-­‐class quiz —for any reason—your mark will be calculated based on the evening quiz using method 2 as outlined in the grading scheme. Quiz 2 If you are unable to attend the evening quiz for good reason, you must inform the lecturer one week in advance and provide appropriate documentation. If you miss the evening quiz due to illness, within one week of the quiz you must provide a medical certificate signed by a physician that clearly states that you were too ill to write the quiz. Instructors reserve the right to reject unsatisfactory certificates. Exam The term exams will take place during the regular examination periods (Dec. 10– 20, 2015; Apr. 9 – 23, 2016). The exams are 3-­‐hours in duration and cover the work of the entire term. Students are required to write during the scheduled time, except under exceptional circumstances. Pre- and Post-course tests
There will be three mandatory tests conducted at the start of term (due Wed. Sept. 16th) and one the last week of class to gauge your background in physics, math and reasoning. This will provide us with a measure of your background and enable us to tailor the course accordingly. The last test will provide an independent measure of the amount that you will have learned by the end of term. You will receive full credit for carefully completing the tests, but you will not be given a grade for the tests. The test will be administered on OWL (www.dal.ca/ilo). Lectures
The lectures notes and slides will also be make available on OWL the night before lecture. Live lectures recordings from 2013 will be also be posted on OWL. These are posted to help you catch-­‐up in in the event that you miss a class, but are not meant as a substitute for attending lecture. There are small changes made to the course from year to year. In particular there will be more emphasis in this year’s lectures, quizzes and exams on concept questions. You should therefore ensure that you have the new material that is included in the slides and lecture notes. Class Participation Nearly every lecture will require you to answer questions via the wireless student response system. You will be given credit for every question you answer using the electronic polling system. You may be excused from participation from up to 6 classes without penalty.

The computer-­‐assisted personalized approach – known as CAPA – is a system of personalized assignments for each student in the class, created by the instructors from a variety of conceptual and quantitative problems. You have 11 CAPA assignments over the course of the term, one due every Wednesday starting Sept. 23. These assignments are for you to practise your problem solving skills. You are encouraged to collaborate by discussing concepts with your classmates. However, it is most important for you to work through your assignment to ensure you understand the concepts fully. If you just use methods provided by others without understanding the material, you will not succeed in this course! NOTE: ¡ We do not drop your lowest CAPA assignment mark. ¡ CAPA#12 is not for credit: it is for practice for the Exam. Where to get assignments Your assignments should be in one of the pigeon holes labelled “P1300 Current Assignment” located opposite room 107 on the first floor of the Dunn Building (see P on the map below). The first assignment (together with your pre-­‐lab assignment) is to be picked up on Wednesday Sept. 16th The pigeon holes are ordered alphabetically by students’ last names. If you can't find your assignment, please check also the slots above and below your name; other students may have moved the assignments inadvertently. If it's not there, please print your assignment; see "Where is my CAPA assignment?" under Frequently Asked Questions at www.learning.physics.dal.ca. Or you can get it e-­‐mailed to you (see below). If you lose your CAPA assignment: You can e-­‐mail your CAPA assignment to yourself by logging onto www.learning.physics.dal.ca and clicking <<[reprints]>>. Submitting assignments You complete your assignments with pencil and paper. Keep your step-­‐by-­‐step solutions in a binder as it is important to keep good records of your work for studying for quizzes and exams. Teaching Assistants in the Resource Centre will ask to see your written solution attempt before they help you with a given problem. After you complete each question, you submit it on-­‐line at www.learning.physics.dal.ca. Your web browser needs to have Cookies and JavaScript enabled. CAPA will tell you whether your answer is correct on not. Normally, you have 15 tries to get each question correct. Assignments are due every Wednesday by 11:59 pm. If you are unable to complete an assignment for good reason, you must inform Friedemann Brauer before the due date. Extensions are granted only in exceptional circumstances and for a valid reason. Instructions for log-­‐in and entering answers are printed on the back of the first assignment. See also the How To pages at www.learning.physics.dal.ca Where to get help
¡ For technical problems with the CAPA system, contact Friedemann Brauer (Dunn 213), E-­‐mail: teacher@learning.physics.dal.ca. Keep in mind that problems are well tested and that CAPA is very seldom wrong. ¡ Teaching Assistants (TAs) are available in the Resource Centre (Dunn 108) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (and Thursdays and Fridays when then the TAs are not busy with PHYC1190/1290 students) ¡ Discussions with classmates can also be very useful. It is worthwhile to get to know some of your classmates; some students find it helpful to form small study groups. There is a discussion group for PHYC1300/1310 on OWL (www.dal.ca/ilo) DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY Physics and Atmospheric Science p.5/7 PHYC1300/1310/1320 Physics in and Around you ¡ Speak to your professor after lecture or during office hours. Help is given much better in person than by e-­‐mail. ¡ If you are struggling with the mathematics, an excellent resource is Khan Academy https://www.khanacademy.org . This site provides tutorial videos and quizzes to ensure you understand a given concept. In particular, you should be comfortable with concepts covered in Khan’s ‘Algebra I’, ‘Geometry’, ‘Trigonometry’ and ‘Algebra II’ units. To find these units, once you have logged-­‐in to the site, go to the home page an select the “Subjects” menu at the top and choose “Math”. Accommodation policy for students
Students may request accommodation as a result of barriers related to disability, religious obligation, or any characteristic protected under Canadian Human Rights legislation. The full text of Dalhousie’s Student Accommodation Policy can be accessed here: http://www.dal.ca/dept/university_secretariat/policies/academic/student-­‐
accommodation-­‐policy-­‐wef-­‐sep-­‐-­‐1-­‐-­‐2014.html Students who require accommodation for classroom participation or the writing of tests and exams should make their request to the Advising and Access Services Centre (AASC) prior to or at the outset of the regular academic year. More information and the Request for Accommodation form are available at www.dal.ca/access. Intellectual honesty
We encourage you to discuss concepts and methods with your classmates, TAs or instructors. However, the answers and calculations must be your own work. We consider it an academic offence when a student: ¡ copies answers or reports from another student ¡ obtains answers, or programs that calculate answers, from other students ¡ provides other students with reports, answers or programs that calculate answers Instructors are obligated to report any academic offences to the Senate Disciplinary Committee. Please consult the Academic Integrity section below. Academic integrity
Academic integrity, with its embodied values, is seen as a foundation of Dalhousie University. It is the responsibility of all students to be familiar with behaviours and practices associated with academic integrity. Instructors are required to forward any suspected cases of plagiarism or other forms of academic cheating to the Academic Integrity Officer for their Faculty. The Academic Integrity website (http://academicintegrity.dal.ca) provides students and faculty with information on plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty, and has resources to help students succeed honestly. The full text of Dalhousie’s Policy on Intellectual Honesty and Faculty Discipline Procedures is available here: http://www.dal.ca/dept/university_secretariat/academic-­‐integrity/academic-­‐policies.html STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT Dalhousie University has a student code of conduct, and it is expected that students will adhere to the code during their participation in lectures and other activities associated with this course. In general: “The University treats students as adults free to organize their own personal lives, behaviour and associations subject only to the law, and to University regulations that are necessary to protect ¡ the integrity and proper functioning of the academic and non – academic programs and activities of the University or its faculties, schools or departments; ¡ the peaceful and safe enjoyment of University facilities by other members of the University and the public; ¡ the freedom of members of the University to participate reasonably in the programs of the University and in activities on the University's premises; ¡ the property of the University or its members.” The full text of the code can be found here: http://www.dal.ca/dept/university_secretariat/policies/student-­‐life/code-­‐of-­‐student-­‐conduct.html DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY Physics and Atmospheric Science p.6/7 PHYC1300/1310/1320 Physics in and Around you Services available to students
